Few shining moments for A’s
Jason Giambi, Matt Holliday and Nomar Garciaparra combined to go 1-for-11, and the revamped A’s lineup managed only three hits against Joe Saunders in a 3-0 Opening Day loss to the Angels. Is it too early to break out the gold thong?

Back in my heady college days I used spend my evenings at A’s games, drinking beer and eating hot dogs I usually brought from home. Good times. Any hoo, when Giambi came to the plate, they would always play some gangsta rap thing. I would imagine the stadium on hydraulics, suddenly tilting when it went up on three wheels. Then I’d go back to eating hot dogs. They used to have dollar dog night, and I’d eat four or five just cause. Then I would go home and head to the restroom. Like I said, good times.
